Guestbook
"Our stay at Glenview Lodge was everything and more than we expected. A warm welcome from our hosts began a weeks stay in a cottage as pleasant as any place we have stayed. Private, clean, fully equipped, beautiful surrounds, and much more. There were glorious walks in the surrounding hillsides, strolls into the township for a drink at the local pub, picnic races, wonderful day trips by car, and of course the option to just stay at Glenview and soak in the restful atmosphere. For anyone wanting a place slightly off the tourist track yet central to the heart of Ireland this is it.We hope to come again. Michael and Susan Hanley Australia”
